Wee update on my cancelled Motorfinity order and my GR Yaris.  First off the GR its not for me dont get me wrong its great fun for a Sunday B road blast if you can find a B road with no stupid cyclists.....! Its just to noisy and lacks the creature comforts for me to want to keep it.  Which leads me to Motorfinity. I called them today with the intention of placing a new order for a 20 year this time with the HK which my previous order did not have.  They then informed me oh we still have your cancelled order which now has a Build week 38 and should be in UK November......we can do for the same price:cool: Ordered.  Just need to move the GR now lol

When did you first order with motorfinity I ordered end October no build date yet

Hopefully all the issues will be sorted with the cars by the end of the year then . Might even have an engine cover on by then ha

Think you are the first on here that ordered with motorfinity to have a build date. Hope for the rest of us then

I had a go in the GR Yaris. At just 6ft talk, the rear view mirror position was an issue for me. Huge blind spot 😂

I take it you test drove one before you bought it? 🙂

I did test drive before I bought it yes.  Like I said its a hoot to drive when you want to blast it not so much fun\comfort toddling about. I probably bought into the hype of everyone saying this car is amazing which it is if you have like 5 other cars and this one is for high days and holidays.

Good to hear you’ve got a build week from Motorfinity. I ordered beginning of February but I’m hopeful now

I am in the same position...i have one on order and i agree it's probably best used as a second car for weekend fun.

I don't have a date for mine to arrive so when it's time i will either update my partners car so we have something nice during the week or keep my 7.5 until VW sort out the software issues.

First world problems.

Does anyone know if VW warranty covers track use? For example, if I'm on track and I crap a drive shaft, is that covered?

 

I've a mk3 focus RS currently, and track use was covered under fords warranty. But just wondered if anyone knows if VW covered it?
